regarding the remains of a man found a
few DAYS ago in the ruins of barn at

burned beyond recognition, but it was

well known dentist and sporting man of
this city. A girl named Hattie Wool
Steen, who came here recently from
Peoria, Ill.,, was arrested on suspicion,
and last night her sister, Minnie WOOL
steen, made statement that Harlan
had been the cause of Hattie's ruin, and
that on the night of the murder the. pair
went riding in the direction of Compton,
when Hattie threatened to expose Har-
lan's conduct. Harlan has wife and
family in this city, and Hattie's threats
so frightened him, her sister states. that
he shot himself in the carriage. His
companion feared the results of being
found with the dead body, so she took it
to barn, set fire to the building, and
fled.
Hattie Wolstein, the girl who is under
arrest here ON suspicion of killing Dr..
Harlan, dentist and sporting man.
and afterwards burning the body, made
a confession of her guilt tonight and
then took poison. She was still alive at
q late hour.

cation for a quarter section within the
limits of the withdrawal for indemnity
purposes, alleging settlement April 2S,
1885. The tract in dispute has been
continuously Withdrawn since Aug. Is,
1870, and was also embraced in the list
of selections for indemnity purposes by
the company filed May II, 1885. Distler
made proof showing full compliance
with the law, as to residence, improve
ments, etc. The local Office held that
he should be allowed to enter the tract,
and that the selection should be can
celed. The case is similar in all i'm
portant particulars to the celebrated
Guilford-Miller case, to which the COM
missioner calls attention as follows:
Referring to the letter by his excellency,
Grover Cleveland, president of the United
States, In the matter of the case of Guilford-
Miller, l must refuse to approve the selection
by the company, settlement right having
attached to the tract prior to said selection.
Your decision is therefore affirmed, and
Distler's application is held for allowance.
Should this become final and the selection be
cancelled, the company might select the land
in lieu thereof Should deficiency exist,
upon which no settlement claim exists at the
date of selection.

the mock marriage of Edward Foss and
Miss Clara Foster contained several in

and the best Obtainable legal advice
was at once secured. All of the attor-

of the elements of legal marriage.
The whole occurrence took place in
spirit of fun, neither party having the
remotest idea of contracting marriage,

by Justice Hine. Both parties have
hosts of friends who sympathize with
them in the embarrassment caused by
the unlucky incident. Mr.. FoSs is a
